Beach gate has mainly remained the same for quite some time.

Beach gate was completely rebuilt when WindSeeker was put in. The previous Beach gate is where WindSeeker currently stands.

[Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?]

My head hurts trying to figure out how this is logical or even has the possibility of being successful.

[Cedar Point 2016 Talk]

Gemini also has one of the best head chopper effects in the park. The coaster has been their for 39 seasons, and yet people still duck.

[Whither Conneaut Lake Park Now?]

I personally think CLP appears to have a bad location, no interstate exit if one is even nearby plus I had to look for the lake.

 

CLP is 10 miles from interstate 79 via US 322/6 most of which is 4 lane.

Hotel Breakers has free parking with In/out privileges as much as you want. Breakers Express gets parking only with a ticket package and is subject to normal parking regulations.

 

Late august has slightly lighter crowds as Ohio goes back to school. However Michiganers and residents of Ontario have learned this and take their vacations during this time.

[Cedar Point help]

Which Drop Zone?

[Cedar Point help]

Besides the ones already mentioned, Raptor, Rougarou, maXair, and Skyhawk also have test seats.  At 5 ft 6in you should not have any leg room issues (I'm 5-6 as well) however -3 seats on Magnum, Gemini and Mine Ride give a bit of a tight fit for legs.

[Ride spieling thoughts?]

Tiki Twirl, Cad Cars and Power Tower (if you can here anything over the air tanks) still have auto spiel .

[Most Underrated Amusement Park]

Yes, Ravine Flyer 2 is one of the best wooden coasters out there. Comet is a wonderful "junior" coaster and Steel Dragon is a fun little ride. Two awesome dark atractions (one ride and one walk through) with all the tricks and effect working. Also a nice collection of flat rides to please.  Waldameer has free parking, free admission to the grounds (either pay per ride or get a wristband), and you can bring your own lunch and drinks into the park, thus making budgeting easier.

[Most Underrated Amusement Park]

Indeed, they have a fine collection of smaller, family parks.

I guess I'm in a small select crowd that likes Mean Streak the way it is (except the very back wheel seat.)

 

Welcome to the club for those who enjoy Mean Streak, we are few yet we exist! Then there are some of us who find it one of the best in the park.
